Whoops! I was thinking of that ugly ford thing... the Focus. Man those are nasty cars.

Maybe you were thinking of TRD (Toyota Racing Development)?

sorry, my friend, but your brother reeks of rice. you should, no, you MUST kick him in the sac with either your foot or your LT1.
Took me a good 3 minutes to stop shaking with laughter enough to lay hands to keyboard and post a reply. Funny stuff. And true. Go get him.

he told me after he did exhaust and CAI that hed be down to 14 flat
I'll tell your brother the same thing that I told the ricer at the track last week...if his car with an intake and exhaust runs a 14 flat I'll FedEx him a dollar. (Must have timeslips and video, of a toyota matrix with intake and exhaust on a FULL 1/4 track!)

You sure your brother wasn't thinking he'll be running a 14 flat in the 1/8th?

Here is a story of the ricer I talked about up there ^.

I've got a buddy with a cavalier (hell even I own a cavalier, but that's not the point) and he was in line at the track. This dude with this primered, neon'd, a wing boeing would be envious of, and a exhaust/intake...started talking to my buddy with the cavalier about the cavaliers muffler "Yeah, I almost bought that muffler...but I didn't like it, my muffler gives me some mad hp" After I quit laughing. I asked him what all he had done to it...he said intake and exhaust. I asked him what he thought it would run...and he said "If it doesn't run a 14 I'm selling it" Without missing a beat, I pulled out $1. and said "If this car runs a 14, I'll give you this dollar...Hell if this car runs a 15 I'll give you this dollar" He then said "Well if it doesn't run a 15 then I'm gonna sell it."

Well we finally get up to the staging lines...(and he's running my buddy's cavalier, which is NOT fast) and 17.4 seconds later the probe finished...my buddy ran a 16.3 (well off his best of a 15.7)

So a little later I went back up to the primerd probe guy and asked him if he was gonna sell his car...he said and I quote "My clutch is messin up. If it was working right I would have run 3 or 4 seconds faster" I just laughed and call him a ricer before I walked off...he didn't like that, but he wasn't even going to get out of his "Mad Tyte Ride y0"

Anyways, just thought I would share my story, and for you to let your brother know I'll give him $1. if he can run a 14 flat with just intake and exhaust.

It's sad what these guys think their cars can run. It's great to see them at the track. Reality check!!!

Just a quick question.. what Celica on earth have you seen run low 14's with just intake and exahust

intake/exhaust= 2.5 seconds off 1/4 mile? WOW!!

Not calling bs, but i'd have to see those runs to believe them.
